Batteries may cause electric shock and have a high short-circuit current. Take the
precautionary measures specified below and any other measures necessary when
working with the battery cartridges:
o
Remove jewelry and any other metal objects.
o
Use only tools with insulated grips and handles.
o
Avoid touching or shorting battery cartridge terminals.
•
When changing battery cartridge(s), only replace with the same battery cartridge
part number as specified for that UPS.
•
Do not attempt to dispose of battery cartridges by burning them. This could cause
the batteries to explode.
•
Do not open or destroy batteries. Escaping electrolytes can cause injury to the skin
and eyes and may be toxic.
•
Must replace any fuses only with the same type and amperage to avoid fire
hazards.
•
Do not disassemble any components in the UPS system (UPS, EBP, MBS, etc.).
•
Risk of electrical shock; do not touch uninsulated battery terminals.
•
Risk of explosion if battery cartridge is replaced with an incorrect battery cartridge
type.
•
Batteries should be mounted in an environment where the temperature is within
the required specs. Temperature is a major factor in determining battery life and
capacity. In a normal installation, the battery temperature is maintained between
15°C and 25°C. Keep batteries away from heat sources or main air ventilation
area, etc.
•
Units with internal battery cartridges and battery cartridges must be stored in an
environment to protect against excessive humidity and heat source.
o
Typical battery performance is based on an operating temperature between
20°C and 25°C. Operating the battery cartridges above this range will
reduce the battery life, while operating below this range will reduce the
battery capacity.
o
An unused battery cartridge must be fully recharged every 3 months.
